Two questions:

1. Is there a newer version of GDB that compiles on a wider variey of
machines?  I am primarily interested in a 3B2 running USG5.X.

2. There's a function in simple.el called blink-matching-open which I
think is at the heart of your cursing jumping back to the matching
open {brace, bracket, parenthesis} or printing the matching line at
the bottom of the screen.

I would like to map that function to a key and use it myself other
than when I happen to be typing a }, ], or ), and I can't seem to do
it.

When I "C-h k" and ask about it a familiar description appears, but
when I "M-x blink-matching-open" the [No Match] message appears.  So I
can't seem to even use the function--let alone trying to map it to a
key.

Any ideas?
